DEATH IN THE WATER.

L
Is tho Element wo Drink Dccimnting the
| People?-IIow Universal Menace to
| Health May lie Disarmod.
A fow years ago tho people in a cortnin
section in one of tho leading cities of the
State were Frustrated with malignant
disease, and upon investigation IL was
/ found that only those who used water from
famous old we'll wero the victims.
| Prof. s. A. baltimore, analyst OF the
New York State Board of Health, upon
analysing water from this WE'LL found II
moro deadly than the city sewagel
The filling up OF tho old we'll stopped the
ravages of tho disease.
Not long since the writer noticed while
some mon wero making an excavation for
large building, q stratum of dark colored
earth running from near the surface To
hard pan. There 1t took another course
toward we'll near at hand. The water
from this well had for years been tainted
with the DRAWINGS from n receiving vault,
the percolations OF which had discolored
| the earth.
Terriblei
A similar condition Of things exists in
every village and city where we'll water Is
used and though tho flltering which the
fluids receive in passing through the earth
may give them clear appearance, yet the
| poison and disease remains, though the
water may look never so clear.
| 1t is still worse with the farmer, for the
drainage from the barn yard and the slops
from the kitchen eventually find their way
into the family wclll
The same condition of things exists In
our large cities, whose water supplies are
rivers fed by little streams that carry of
the filth and drainage from houses. This
"watern Is eventually drunk by rich and
poor alike with great evil.
Some cautious people resort to tho filter
for purifying this water, but even the
filter does not remove this poison, fol
water Of the most deadly character may
pass through this filter and become clear,
yet the poison disguised is there.
They who use filters know that they
must be renewed at regular periods, for
even though they do not take out all the
impurity, they soon become foul.
Now in like manner the human kidneys
act as filter for the blood, and If they arc
filled up with impurities and become foul,
like the filter, all the blood in the system
coursing through them becomes bad, for II
is now q conceded fact that the kidneys
are the chief means whereby tho blood is
purified. These organs are filled with
thousands of hdir-like tubes which drain the
impurities from the blood, as the sewer
pipes drain impurities from our houses.
If sewer pipe breaks under the house,
the sewage escapes into the earth and fills
the house with poisonous gas; so ii any OF
the thousand and one little hair.like sewer
tubes of the kidneys break down, the en-
tire body is affected by this awful poison.
1t is scientific fact that the kidneys
have few nerves of sensation; and, conse.
quently, disease may exist in these organs
for long time and not be suspected by
the individual. 1t is impossible to filter or
take the death out of the blood when the
least arrangement exists in these organs,
and if the blood is not filtered then the
uric acid, or kidney poison, reno vable only
by Warmers safe cure, accumuldtes in the
system and attacks any organ, producing
nine out Of ten ailments, just as sewer gas
and bad drainage produce so many.fatal dis.
orders.
Kidney disease may be known to exist Il
there is any marked departure from or.
dinary health without apparent known
cause, and it should be understood by all
that the greatest peril exists, and is inten.
sified, If there is the least neglect to treat
it promptly with that great specific, War
ner's safe cure, n remedy that has re-
ceived the highest recognition by scien.
tific men who have thoroughly investi-
gated the character of kidney derange-
ments.
They may not tell US that the cause OF so
many diseases in this organ is the impure
water or any other one thing, but this poi
sonous water with its impurities coursing
constantly through these delicate organs
undoubtedly does produce much of the de-
cay and disease which eventually termi-
nate in the fatal Bright's disease, for this
disease, alike among the drinking men,
prohibltionists, the tobacco slave, the Ia
borer, the merchant and the tramp, works
terrible devastation every year.
1t is well known that the liver, which is
so easily thrown ''out of gear, as they say,
very readily disturbs the action Of the kid
neys. That organ when deranged imnie-
diGteiy announces the fact by sallow skin,
constipated bowels, coated tongue and
headaches, but the kidney when diseased,
struggles on for long time, and the fact
of its disease can only be discovered by the
aid of the miscroscope or by the physician
who is skillful enough to trace the most in
direct effects in the system to the derange-
ment of these organs, as the prime cause.
The public is learning much on this sub
ject and when it comes to understand that
the kidneys are the real health regulators,
as they are the real blood purifiers of the
system, they will escape an infinite amount

An old Philadelphia detective is
authority for the statement that the
world is growing better. Most of the
expert thieves, burglars and safe-break-
ers are in Jail, and many of them are
dying every year in prison, while the
old sneak-thieves are disappearing.
There is much less crime than few
years ago. Smart thieves are not taking
the places of big criminals, and rogucs
generally have much less chance of es-
cape than formerly. PhiIadelpliia Call.
